Dubai Airport is to start refurbishing its Terminal 1 building in the next couple of months.
The oldest terminal building at Dubai Airport is in need of improvements to the passenger experience and baggage system.
AÂ new baggage screening process will greatly improve passenger flow by eliminating a queuing point, reducing the time it takes passengers to move from the forecourt in Terminal 1 to the departure gates. The additional space created by streamlined baggage process will be used to transform the departures hall into a more spacious and welcoming environment and when combined with upgraded wayfinding signage, provide a more easily accessible building for the travelling public.
The refurbishment programme also includes the reconfigured and expanded arrivals hall.
Once the refurbishment of Terminal 1 is complete, it will be linked via a new elevated train system to Concourse D, which is currently under construction. Concourse D will become the new home of the more than 100 airlines that fly to and from Dubai International when it opens in 2015.
